Abstract
A method of synthesizing electronic components incorporating nanoscale filamentary structures in which method a metallic catalyst is deposited in a nanoporous membrane , the catalyst being adapted to penetrate in at least some of the pores of the nanoporous membrane , and filamentary structures are grown on the catalyst in at least some of the pores in the nanoporous membrane . The nanoporous membrane is prepared in a manner suitable for ensuring that the wall of the pores include a single-crystal zone, and at least part of the catalyst is grown epitaxially on said single-crystal zone.
